Getting tired of this Ellusionist crap. They are outright stupid if they think people are going to continue to buy bricks of their cards every time they release them just to get a free deck!

Ya but I can complain Nurul, lol...........I don't buy the other stuff, I'm just a collector  :-[

Haha :) here's a suggestion, buy the DVD n get the deck. Then sell the DVD n use the cash to buy however many purple ones u want :)

Lol don't know why YOU complain, you always end up buying it :/ besides, you don't need to buy a brick to get the white&red LTD, you can purchase Peter McKinnon's DVD and get the deck for free. In fact, you can buy 2 DVDs, get 2 decks for free and still pay less than buying a brick

Did you happen to try that? I tried getting 2 or 3 bricks for the hell of it and only 1 free deck showed up. I think E is limited how many free decks we get per order.

For the hell of it? Really? I put a brick and DVD in my cart and two decks showed up.

(Apologies for the double post, I can't seem to delete and merge it :/)

Yes I did the same thing and got the same result. However if you try to get 2 or 3 bricks only 1 free deck shows up.

I'm personally tired of the whining.  GET OVER IT.  It helps them sell merchandise.  If you don't like that, DON'T BUY INTO IT and don't bother getting the rare deck.  We don't need to hear the belly-aching, seriously, and there's always eBay.

You CAN get more than one white LTD deck.  Just place MORE THAN ONE ORDER.  Tracking you by your account?  No problem - DON'T LOG IN and buy as a guest.

Wow.  Really, how old are you?  It's rare I get this riled up, but you, Victor - you are one of those people that isn't happy unless you have something to piss on or whine and moan about.  Try meditation or something.  Just don't post it here, please.  You come across like a pre-teen brat when you do.  Who wants that?

While I'm not a huge fan of the Purple LTD brick promo, I am interested in p:m's new DVD, and you get a White LTD for buying that. Can't be upset about that.

I'm guessing they'll have this link: http://www.ellusionist.com/white-ltd-limited-playing-cards.html on their playing card page tomorrow when it goes live for everyone, but when I find interesting is that court cards for the limited White LTD has the Madison court faces instead of standard re-coloured courts.

You can actually add it to your cart (at least BC members can), but the list price is $1,000...

And what the hell's the story about using the Madison courts?!

My thoughts exactly on the Madison courts, but at least it does make it very different from the other LTD besides being limited. I thought it was a goof up in their photos, but I think the font confirms it since it's LTD's font over standard font like they used for the other Madison decks.

So I guess, there you go vmagic, you can add it to your cart for 1000$ if you're interested in just buying it straight out over buying a brick or DVD. I guess Ellusionist listened to demands and offered a buyout option for those that didn't want all those extra bricks or DVD or books.

Considering E's shipping prices, you could just buy the deck for $1,000 and save some dough  ;D.

But I do agree that the coolest colors always being limited gets a bit annoying. I'm not too jazzed on the purple one, but I think the original and white LTDs would make a killer set.

Then again, I guess it does help sell the cards. Just wish there was a way for people to get the new promotional decks without buying a brick of cards.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Seriously, though, they have to put even promo decks on the site for the purposes of tracking the inventory, so they usually either list it as $0 and sold out or a stoo-pd-hi price like $999 or $1,000.  I don't think an attempt to purchase it, even at such an insane price, would succeed - they'd probably cancel at least that portion of the order somewhere in the supply chain before it shipped.

Regardless of all the whining, good old victor will have an unboxing video of his purple ltd and white ltd on his channel within the next week probably.

On topic, I like the thinner borders on the whites :)

I'm not so sure I like the Madison faces.  They're on the purple and white decks.  There was nothing wrong with the faces the way they looked before.  Meh.  Now they're not even a matched set with the other decks - it just doesn't make sense to me.

It's not in our favor since we see it all to often from Ellusionist but... On the flip side, they are not marketing to us.  They are marketing to kids, point blank.  They are not worried about us, 18+ aged, because the kids will spend there parents money on impulse.  Ellusionist is simply doing what works for them and catering to the next generation since we've all grown numb to it.

They're not exactly alone in using similar sales tactics.  Seriously, I don't see why people are getting so freaked about this - they do it because it works, period.  If it didn't, they'd do something else.

So since these officially started rolling out today, if anyone bought a brick to grab the White LTD and would like to unload a couple of Purple decks at a reasonable price to ease the cost, let me know  ;)

,,,,well played? Why do I feel like an ambulance chaser now, lol

Just in case anyone is reading something not intended in my comment, its a simple request since I know a lot of people here were interested in the White deck and buy bricks and as for "reasonable price" I just want to help offset your cost, not put your kids through college, lol

I mean really, if I'm going to get them anyway, why not get them from someone here and help out  ;)

That's how I meant it Sparkz. Sorry if I came across differently. It is a legitimate way of buying decks =) Never meant it to be a bad statement

The rule of thumb:
If your conversation is directly about a deck or a deck accessory, it goes in the Plethora.
If it's about a magic deck or anything else tricky or cardistry-y, it goes in the Bonanza (with a few exceptions, mostly involving decks that are "magic" but have collector value, like Madison Dealers, Phoenix Apocalypse or Legends).
If you're looking to buy, trade, sell or eBay anything else card/magic-related, it goes in the STISO.
If it's utterly unrelated but serious, it goes in the Park.
Everything else goes in the LOLAQ.
* Selling things non-card related goes somewhere else on the interwebs, not here.

Now, who besides me doesn't like that they used Madison courts instead of sticking with the ones they'd been using all along?  I'm seriously torn over whether I even want these two decks.
